Beyond contaminant detection with X-ray inspection solutions
Making its debut in Italy, the X2 Series is on the stand and is designed for the inspection of small and medium packages in multiple line configurations 800, 1300, 1800 and 2000 mm line lengths. X-ray inspection solutions within the X2 Series are positioned to consistently deliver high detection sensitivity capabilities, protecting the safety and quality of food products.
A key feature of the system is ContamPlus™ software which enhances detection capabilities to identify a wide range of contaminants, including glass, metal, mineral stone, calcified bone, dense plastic and rubber compounds.
Showcased on booth Pad 02 K020, the X12 X-ray System is a high performing single-lane x-ray inspection system featuring the HiGain detector, which generates sharper images to deliver enhanced contaminant detection.
No metal with the metal detection systems
Showcased at Cibus Tec, is one of the next-generation metal detection systems in the M30 R-Series GC Series. The modular design of the fully integrated system can be adapted over time in line with evolving compliance and productivity needs. This entry-level metal detection solution is ideal for manufacturers who value high performance, with future-proof flexibility built in. On the stand, visitors can see the M34R PlusLine metal detection system. Dual-Simultaneous Frequency and Product Signal Suppression technology improves spherical sensitivity performance by up to 25% and reduces false rejects in wet or conductive applications. The system is tailored to wet, challenging and conductive applications such as meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, products with high salt content and those packed in metallized film.
Throat Metal Detectors will also be on display at Cibus Tec. This advanced designed specifically for freefall/gravity-fed applications offers a highly reliable metal detection solution for vertical packaging processes. The cutting-edge technology helps to ensure the highest level of product safety and quality by accurately detecting and rejecting any metallic contaminants that may be present during production. With its precise sensitivity and robust construction, this technology provides food manufacturers with peace of mind, knowing that their products will meet the strictest quality standards and comply with industry regulations. By integrating this innovative solution into their production lines, manufacturers can protect their brand reputation and consumer trust while optimising productivity and minimising the risk of costly product recalls.
Space saving combination inspection technologies
With mix-and-match combination inspection solutions, Mettler-Toledo focuses on the integration of several inspection technologies in one space-saving device in order to maximise productivity. To ensure that the combination inspection solutions are best adapted to the needs of individual customer requirements, standardised components can be combined with different technologies as required.
Mettler-Toledo will show its CV Combination system on the booth. The integrated combination of checkweighing and vision inspection offers a comprehensive solution for precision weighing and label verification in the food packaging industry. By combining these two technologies, manufacturers can be confident that their products not only meet regulatory standards but also adhere to strict quality requirements.
Going paperless with data management software
With ProdX™, food manufacturers can benefit from fully comprehensive product inspection management, including extensive safety functions, digital track & trace, automatic recording of performance tests and real-time logging of test and compliance data. The highly intuitive software offers paperless documentation of product reject incidents required for compliance, meaning manufacturers can save time filling in forms, filing and collating information for reports and trend analysis. ProdX™ is based on Industry 4.0 principles of secure machine-to-machine communication and prepares connectivity to blockchain technology. The software can digitalise food safety compliance, reduce compliance auditing time and help facilitate faster product recalls.
In addition to the booth exhibition, Mettler-Toledo will have a demonstration van parked outside the hall, providing attendees with the opportunity to experience some of the company’s other innovative solutions first-hand.
